This is ably helped by the use of the nice flip up 6cm colour screen with the ability to apply basic image edits as well. The C5180 can be used as a standalone printer when printing directly from memory cards via the built in card readers CF, SD/MMC, xD, Memory stick (and Duo) cards are slotted into ports on the front. Like its forbear, the colour rendition is excellent with only slightly flat prints with vibrant colour, as if lacking contrast. Print quality is improved over the C4180 (as you’d expect for a printer with the new generation Vivera inks) but there are obvious linear print patterns in shadows and some blockiness in solid areas of colour, which was quite disappointing. Switch to the borderless A4 setting – for a top quality photos – and the maximum (optimised 4800 x 1200dpi) print setting and it takes just over 15-minutes to print one A4 borderless photo. HP’s claimed print times look great: photos in 12-seconds and up to 32ppm for text/general documents but in basic mode. The familiar HP u-bend style paper feed path remains from the C4180, paper is loaded print side down and fed into the printer and turned back out and over delivering the paper on top of the waiting stack of plain sheets.Ī quick and automatic print head alignment and head clean was required but then I was up and running. And the colours: the “usual” cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks are joined by light cyan and magenta. Unlike the C4180, the 5180 uses six of HP’s new Vivera inks in separate tanks that do not have to be replaced to switch print modes (graphics to photos for example). It can print general documents quickly and allows you to print fair photo quality prints as well up to A4.
(Pocket-lint) - Just like the C4180, the C5180 is a neat and compact AIO that provides a comprehensive package of office tools for the busy home office user.
